The conversion of 10 kHz to milliseconds (ms) results in 0.1 ms.
This is because frequency in kilohertz (kHz) measures how many cycles occur each thousandth of a second. To find the period in milliseconds, you take the reciprocal of the frequency in Hz and convert seconds to milliseconds. So, 10 kHz equals 10,000 Hz, and the period is 1 divided by 10,000 seconds, which equals 0.0001 seconds, or 0.1 ms.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert kilohertz (kHz) to milliseconds (ms) is based on the period of a wave, which is the reciprocal of its frequency. Since frequency in kHz must be converted to Hz by multiplying by 1,000, the period in seconds is 1 divided by this value. To get milliseconds, multiply seconds by 1,000. Mathematically, it’s: period (ms) = 1,000 / (frequency in kHz × 1,000) = 1 / frequency in kHz. This formula works because period and frequency are inversely related: higher frequency means shorter period, and vice versa.
For example, at 10 kHz: period = 1 / 10 = 0.1 ms. That’s because 10 kHz is 10,000 Hz, and the period in seconds is 1/10,000 = 0.0001 seconds, which equals 0.1 ms.
Conversion Example
- Convert 5 kHz to ms:
- Frequency = 5 kHz = 5000 Hz
- Period = 1 / 5000 seconds = 0.0002 seconds
- Convert to ms: 0.0002 × 1000 = 0.2 ms
- Convert 20 kHz to ms:
- Frequency = 20 kHz = 20,000 Hz
- Period = 1 / 20,000 seconds = 0.00005 seconds
- Convert to ms: 0.00005 × 1000 = 0.05 ms
- Convert 1.5 kHz to ms:
- Frequency = 1.5 kHz = 1500 Hz
- Period = 1 / 1500 seconds ≈ 0.0006667 seconds
- Convert to ms: 0.0006667 × 1000 ≈ 0.6667 ms
- Convert 50 kHz to ms:
- Frequency = 50 kHz = 50,000 Hz
- Period = 1 / 50,000 seconds = 0.00002 seconds
- Convert to ms: 0.00002 × 1000 = 0.02 ms
- Convert 100 kHz to ms:
- Frequency = 100 kHz = 100,000 Hz
- Period = 1 / 100,000 seconds = 0.00001 seconds
- Convert to ms: 0.00001 × 1000 = 0.01 ms

Conversion Definitions
khz
Khz, or kilohertz, measures frequency representing thousands of cycles per second. It indicates how many oscillations occur within one second, with 1 kHz equaling 1000 cycles, used mainly in audio, radio, and electronic signals.
ms
Milliseconds (ms) are units of time equal to one-thousandth of a second, used to describe durations, periods, or delays in signals and processes, making it easier to measure very short intervals like wave cycles or electronic pulses.
Conversion FAQs
How does increasing the frequency in kHz affect the period in ms?
As the frequency in kHz increases, the period in milliseconds decreases because they are inversely related. A higher frequency means the wave completes cycles faster, resulting in shorter periods.
Can I convert any frequency in kHz to milliseconds using the same formula?
Yes, the formula works for any value in kHz. Just divide 1000 by the frequency in kHz to get the period in milliseconds, because the relationship between frequency and period remains constant across values.
Why is the period for 10 kHz exactly 0.1 ms?
Because 10 kHz equals 10,000 Hz, and the period in seconds is 1 divided by 10,000, resulting in 0.0001 seconds. Converting to milliseconds involves multiplying by 1000, giving 0.1 ms.
What happens if I input a negative value in the converter?
Technically, negative frequency values are not physically meaningful. The converter might display a negative period or behave unpredictably. It’s best to use positive values for real-world frequency to period conversions.
